The game's namesake, Joanna "Perfect" Dark is the Carrington Institute's
finest graduate. You assume control of this lethal but inexperienced spy
superstar in your quest to save the world from annihilation.

Daniel Carrington
Age: 62 years, 8 months
Race: Human (Male)

The patriarchal leader of the Carrington Institute, this crafty old fox has
put Joanna in a position to save the planet. Formerly a distinguished scientist,
Carrington is as rich and powerful as they come, but uses these privileges
to help his fellow man.

Mr. Blonde
Race: Skedar (disguised)

Looking like a model for Swedish Soloflex, Mr. Blonde is in fact a
holographically disguised Skedar soldier, bent on destruction of the Maian
and human races. Often seen in negotiations with Trent Easton, universal
sucker.

Trent Easton
Age: 45 years
Race: Human (Male)

Nothing more than a pawn in the Skedar plot, Trent Easton is the acting head
of the United States National Security Agency (NSA). He hangs with the likes
of Cassandra de Vries, making his complexion decidedly reptilian. One bad
hombre, this Trent Easton. And a bad dresser, to boot.

This twisted powermonger is the arch-enemy of Daniel Carrington. Sporting
a blonde beehive and permanently sour expression, Cassandra is an evil
businessmaiden who will stop at nothing to get her hands on the green.

Elvis
Age: 320 years (and quite nimble, at that)
Race: Maian (Male)

A Maian bodyguard, this alien who calls himself Elvis is a wicked shot with
the Farsight XR-20 and quick with garbled trash talk. "Kiss my alien butt,"
is an old favorite from the Elvis repertoire.

Dr. Caroll
Age: 6 months
Race: The Caroll Sapient (AI)

Nothing more than a floating laptop with mascara issues, Dr. Caroll is an
artificial intelligence created by the dataDyne Corporation. His personality
circuits told him to switch his moniker, in order to surreptitiously contact
the good folks at the Carrington Institute about dD's plans to take over
the planet.

The U.S. President
Age: 50 years
Race: Human (Male)

This U.S. President sure is a nice guy. Finding himself amidst this whole
alien-conspiracy-against -the-Earth fiasco, he has a lot on his plate as
well. With friends like Trent Easton, who needs enemies?

Jonathon
Age: 28 years, 5 months
Race: Human (Male)

Previously top dog at the Carrington Institute, Jonathon holds no grudges
against Joanna. Relegated to undercover duty, Jonathon is content to "just
help out the team." You'll cross his path a couple times during the course
of the game, as he provides important info about the shady dealings he's
uncovered.
